It’s not too late to start content creation - Tips from a seasoned creator 🧂✨
Ahlan x Sooqlina
At Sooqlina, we are always on the lookout for creators who inspire and uplift through their authenticity. One such creator who has caught our eye is Ahlan, a 22-year-old Politics & International Relations graduate with a passion for fashion, knowledge, culture, and faith. This Ramadan, her content has been blessing our fyp with motivation and tips to make the most of Ramadan. Beyond that, her fashion and styling perfectly blend modesty with chic, girly vibes that we can't get enough of.
Who is Ahlan?
"I’m 22 years young, and a graduate in Politics & IR. I’m a girl who would describe herself as an enthusiastic and optimistic individual with so much to offer," Ahlan shares. With a deep appreciation for the beauty in the world and a desire to capture what Allah has created, her content reflects a love for faith, culture, and lifelong learning.
"I love my faith and my culture, and I’m quite a proud individual with a passion for knowledge, history, and politics," she adds. This vibrant mix of intellect and creativity is what makes Ahlan a refreshing voice in the modest fashion community.
🚀 The Come Up
Ahlan's journey into content creation began in January 2024. "I started working full-time after I graduated and wanted a space where I could fulfill my creative outlet. I didn’t think too much of it and wanted to try something new," she says. What started as a simple idea has evolved into an inspiring platform where fashion and faith beautifully coexist.
🩰 Life as a Modest Wear Content Creator
"I find it fun and wholesome, as we Muslims have our own little lane and market," Ahlan explains. Her journey is proof that modest fashion is more than clothing; it's about representation and staying true to one's values.
🌙 Islam & Content Creation
"I think my faith naturally influences my content. Currently, it’s Ramadan, so it’s all deen content with Islamic reminders and some beneficial advice," Ahlan says. Her Ramadan content has particularly resonated with us at Sooqlina, offering practical tips and motivation that help make the month more meaningful.
She continues, "There are many ways being a Muslim influences my content, such as being mindful and wearing prayer-friendly clothing to work. I also love posting uplifting reminders on Instagram."

🎯 Navigating Challenges and Growth
"I wouldn’t say I’ve faced much criticism, but sometimes people can make you feel insecure about creating content, assuming you’re promoting the wrong path. But you can actually promote so much good," Ahlan reflects.
For her, embracing imperfection is key. "I’m not perfect but a work in progress. The more I’m learning and strengthening my faith, the more it reflects in my fashion with loose clothing and baggy garments."
🔐 Tips & Tricks for Being a Content Creator - How to Grow?
Ahlan emphasises the importance of being authentic. "It sounds sooo cliché and boring, but honestly just be you and showcase what you love and enjoy. It’s easy this way and would come naturally but would be hard when you’re trying to be something you’re not."
She also offers practical insights: "I use CapCut to edit videos and vlogs. I have a strict no-edit or filter policy on pictures."
👀 Ahlan’s Style Inspo
"I’m quite minimalistic, but I really do like the cape abayas. I haven’t got one, but it’s growing on me. Printed abayas are also growing on me; they look gorgeous," she says. Ahlan is a fan of NAKD Fashion, Reserved, H&M, ASOS, and Mango — brands that offer stylish yet modest pieces perfect for everyday wear.
Final Thoughts
As modest fashion continues to evolve, voices like Ahlan's remind us that it’s not just about clothing but about the values and stories behind it. Whether through her love of politics, her dedication to faith, or her fashion journey, Ahlan is a shining example of how being true to yourself can inspire others.
